> I wonder what a plumber or carpenter would say if you were to complain to them on how unfair your job is

I feel like this is a pretty uncharitable caricature of my position. I'm not whining about all my work not getting in. I'm saying, "We're building houses for poor people, I care about this, you had me spend a week on this thing you said was going into one of the houses, you were wrong, I blew a week of work that could've gone to building the houses, and winter is coming". It's not about me personally, it's about me caring about efficiency.

> yet you are still paid for that output

I don't only work to be paid. It's a necessary but not sufficient component. I try to find fulfilling work that I think improves peoples' lives, and I'm fortunate enough to achieve that more often than not. I'm not saying I'm not selfish, just that I'm not entirely selfish, haha.
